Answers:
No!.
There's a limit to how much water can be squeezed out of your spinal discs by your bodyweight pressing down on them!.
You're probably losing most of the height difference by lunchtime, because as soon as you stand up, the pressure begins to dehydrate your discs!. If your spinal discs were twice as chubby as they are, then the difference throughout the day would be twice as much as you've measured!.
However, two days' continuous pressure would squeeze a bit more water out of the discs than one can!. If you always got a normal night's sleep, but only did this every two days, then the damage would accumulate faster than a 'normal' average!. You would suffer from back problems sooner than a 'normal' sleeper, and lose (age-related) height at a faster rate!.
Sleeping upside-down like a bat would help your discs to recover more effectively, and leave your spine very limber and strong!. However, you would suffer in other ways, because the method used for hanging up like that would probably cut off the circulation in your lower limbs, or disrupt your blood supply in other ways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
